Dive into The Deep

In this brilliant novella, Yetu holds the memories for her people—water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard from ships—who live idyllic lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic to be remembered, is forgotten by everyone, save one—the historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu.

Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the surface—and discovers a world her people left behind long ago. She will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past—and about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim their memories—and own who they really are.
